Bassett and Cooper are giving Georgetown nightmares right now in the first half. OU is up 41-28 w/ 3:47 left. Bassett is 6-9 with 3 triples for 15 points. Cooper is 2-5 with a couple 3's of his own and 6 points.

Seriously now...what good does an Ohio win do for Akron?


Here's the effect of an Ohio win:

- OHIO U earns respect nationally
- OHIO U gets a recruiting edge
- OHIO U gets recognition


How does it help AKRON?

Believe it or not, some of us have hopes of being more than a one-bid conference. What does it say if Ohio wins a game or two and K-ent goes deep in the NIT? These are all small steps toward recognition for the conference. Now we just need to develop an answer from Basset and Cooper. Humpty? D-Rob? Helloooo? Anyone home?

Ohio winning will have no effect on the MAC getting multiple bids.

Winning one game, you are correct. OU goes to the Sweet 16 and K-ENT goes to the semis and there IS an impact, and just maybe not always a one bid conference. To get at large bids you have to prove yours teams can win in the dance.

You have to prove it in the OOC schedule. Previous tourney success means NOTHING. Until the MAC proves it in the OOC schedule and improves their RPI's, they aren't going to be getting at-large bids regardless of how many tourney runs they make.

If previous tourneys mean nothing then how did Duke get a 1 seed? How did Xavier get a 6 seed?! Trust me, it means something.

LOL...Right. Duke deserved a 1-seed. Xavier probably deserved a 5-seed but only got a 6. But anyways, your talking about individual schools, and not conferences.

The point is that these wins won't help MAC teams resumes come next March. The only way to do that is to win big OOC conference games in November-December.

You know, if DJ and AB have another game or two like this one (AND the Akron game) there WILL be TV games on ESPN. All the networks care about is ratings, if they become big stars in the Dance they will have drawing power. That did happen with Wally in his last year. All the tourney games he was in were hyped big time.
